Only New Canaan was represented for the New Canaan branch, as Stamford did not participate.
New Canaan
According to the first selectman of the town, the agreement for Talmadge Hill and New Canaan stations are very straight-forward and work well. At Talmadge Hill station, CDOT owns only the platform, while the rest of the station area, e.g. the surface parking, is owned and maintained by the town. New Canaan station is owned by CDOT, as are the immediate parking facilities. The feeling is that the station and parking areas at New Canaan station, recently reconstructed, are well maintained.
The town was concerned about liability issues and responsibilities for some activities and areas. As an example, the town evidently cleans the platforms while CDOT maintains them; sometimes the distinction between the two seems blurred. More importantly, the town feels that MNCR does not keep the track bed clean. With the new high platforms, more trash is collecting than in the past. There are also spikes, and ties left behind.
Taxi activity on-site is an issue to the town. While the town can control activity, they do not feel that it is working well. They would like some help from CDOT’s compliance division for complaints and inspections. There is a dispatcher on site and they are hoping to see some improvement in the near future. To control who can pick-up at the station, the town has instituted rules regarding vehicle color and identifying name, pictures of the driver in the vehicle, etc.
The town was complimentary of Carl Rosa and his responsiveness to their needs. The state spends most of its money on maintenance and operations, and will participate in some minor capital projects. The state recently paid for and constructed a new shelter at Talmadge Hill. The feeling is that it may be time to construct a new station at Talmadge Hill, with a full length platform and overhead protection. They cited West Redding and Wassaic as models.
They would like CDOT to stay in the loop regarding station operations, and would like the state to inspect the stations on a regular basis. Their basic position is that unless CDOT is unhappy, they are not, and they do not feel any change in procedures is needed. They like having local control over day-to-day activities and feel they can be more responsive to the local community.
They are concerned about parking issues if the state were to take over, specifically that lots now designated for New Canaan residents only would be open to everyone. Parking is the number one problem; by the 6:20 AM train all the meters are occupied, and the remaining parking is restricted to town permits. They give out about 2 permits per space. All spaces are generally filled by 8:30 AM. Talmadge Hill has 91 meters for general use, and the rest of the lots are permit controlled. The town is considering a plan to deck the “lumberyard” lot; one of the issues is that if CDOT helps in the financing of the deck, then the spaces would be open to non- residents. Local residents have fought any expansion at Talmadge Hill; better striping may provide an additional 70 spaces in the multi-tiered lots.

New Canaan Line
New Canaan
The response rate of 34% at the New Canaan Station was excellent. Of all respondents, 92% rode the train daily and an additional 5% rode at least once per week. Commuters made up 93% of customers surveyed, and 96% of respondents traveled during the peak periods. Of the respondents that parked at the station, 69% had parking permits at the time of the survey, and of those without permits, 41% were on a waiting list.
Although the male to female ratio among surveyed customers has been high at most stations, the 86% male population is somewhat higher at New Canaan. The fact that 93% of responses were from customers aged 25-64 is not surprising given the typical profile of the work commuter. At New Canaan the remaining 7% were over 65 years of age. Finally, personal incomes were extremely high at this station; 94% reported salaries above $100,000, and the remaining 6% were above $75,000.
As New Canaan is a recently refurbished station, it follows that customer ratings for the various parking and station elements should be fairly positive. In fact, ratings for the different aspects of the station at New Canaan were among the most favorable in the entire survey. In fact, only 2 of the 39 elements included in the (ease of passenger drop-off and parking security) were rated ‘fair’ or ‘poor’ by more than 50% of survey respondents. Furthermore, the percentages of ‘excellent’ ratings were quite high, and every element was noted to have improved by at least half of respondents. New Canaan respondents rated the elements at the station the highest on the New Canaan Line for the station building, amenities and platform elements. New Canaan change ratings were the highest on the New Canaan Line for all 4 categories of elements.
The parking facilities at New Canaan did receive ‘fair’ or ‘poor’ ratings from at least a quarter of respondents for many of the different categories and the only 2 elements that were rated negatively by the majority of customers were included within the parking category. These were parking security (52% negative) and the ease of car or bus passenger drop-off (57% negative). Security remains a noteworthy complaint at many stations, although 71% of those who commented did indicate improvement at New Canaan. Parking maintenance, pathways to station, stairways and handicap accessibility were all rated with 80% approval or higher. Stairways were rated the highest of the parking elements with 92% satisfaction. Overpasses and underpasses do not exist at the New Canaan Station. Pathways to the station had the highest actual number of positive marks (80). Figure 249 shows how New Canaan respondents felt about the parking situation.

The station building received very favorable ratings; only the availability of seating prompted ‘fair’ or ‘poor’ ratings from more than a quarter of customers surveyed, and this too was seen to have improved recently. Ninety-eight percent of respondents were pleased with the overall condition of the station. Figure 250 describes the ratings of the station building in New Canaan. As was the case at most stations, absence of graffiti received the highest percentage of positive ratings (100% in this case). Eight of the 12 building elements received positive ratings exceeding 90%. The lowest rated element (seating availability) still received 63% favorable marks.

Amenities at the station were rated ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ by the majority of customers. Figure 251 displays the amenities ratings in New Canaan. The news/magazine stands were rated positively by 88% of respondents, making it the highest rated amenity. Bus drop-off/pick-up was rated positively by 61% of respondents, yet it was the lowest rated amenity.

Figure 252 describes the platform situation in New Canaan. All of the platform elements were rated at 70% or higher satisfaction. In fact, all but 2 elements were rated above 90% positive. Ninety-nine percent of respondents (all but 1 person who rated it ‘fair) rated the overall condition of the platform favorably. Overall condition was the highest rated element. The working condition of the public address system was the lowest rated platform element with a full 73% approval.

Customer appreciation of the rehabilitation of New Canaan station appears quite evident, both in the proportion of favorable ratings and the number of customers who indicated an improvement for the various elements rated in the survey.
Change
Change ratings in New Canaan were slightly higher than the ratings of the current condition, which can be expected from station that had recently been refurbished. The change ratings in New Canaan were the highest on the New Canaan Line for all 4 categories of elements.
New Canaan respondents felt that handicap accessibility had achieved 100% improvement during the previous 2 years. However, this element received the fewest actual number of responses in the parking category. Ease of passenger drop-off was the least improved parking element with 50% improvement ratings. Parking availability was the second least improved element but still received 63% improvement ratings. The stairways and pathways to the station were highly rated at over 90% improvement. Figure 253 shows how New Canaan respondents perceived change in parking conditions over the previous 2 years.

Figure 254 shows how New Canaan respondents felt about the changed condition of building elements. An incredible 7 elements including the overall condition of the building were thought to have improved by 100% of respondents. All of the other elements were thought to have improved by at least 85% of respondents. The refurbished station was obviously well received by the New Canaan customers.

Figure 255 details the amenities trend ratings in New Canaan. The change ratings in New Canaan were between 65% and 88% improvement. Thus, the amenities were thought to have improved slightly less than the other categories of elements, but the change was still very positive. The least improved amenities were the phones and the most improved amenity was the news/magazine stand.

New Canaan platform change ratings were the second highest of all the platform change ratings given at all the stations surveyed. Figure 256 shows the high platform improvement ratings. Platform handicap accessibility and lighting were thought to have improved by 100% of respondents. Shelters, a concern area in several stations, were thought to have improved by 93% of respondents. The least improved element, the working condition of the public address system, was still thought to have improved by 81% of respondents.

As noted, the change ratings in New Canaan were extremely high, a testament to the excellent station conditions created after the refurbishing process.
Responsible Agencies
As was the case in several stations, New Canaan respondents generally thought that Metro-North was responsible for most station conditions. Figure 257 describes how New Canaan respondents viewed agency responsibility at the station. The largest exception to the Metro-North was with regard to parking, where 89% of respondents thought that the local municipality had responsibility. A majority of New Canaan respondents felt that Metro-North was responsible for the following 2 elements:
Connecticut Department of Transportation 230 Task 1.2:Technical Memorandum Customer Opinion Survey
• Platform (60%) • Map and Schedule Availability (88%)
Nearly half of respondents thought that Metro-North was responsible for these 2 elements:
• Station Building (47%) • Lighting (48%)
Additionally, 29% of respondents thought that Connecticut DOT was responsible for the station building and 27% thought that Connecticut DOT was responsible for lighting. Respondents were generally split between Metro-North (41%) and the local municipality (39%) when deciding who was responsible for security in New Canaan.

Written-In Customer Comments
When asked to write in their own comments on the survey, New Canaan respondents were very concerned with need for more parking areas. Twenty-three people (37%) wrote in that more parking areas were necessary. When asked to rate parking availability in the rating section, 63% of respondents indicated satisfaction with the situation. The same percentage of respondents also thought that parking availability had improved in the previous 2 years. The next highest percentage (10%) of respondents wrote in overall good comments. Eight percent of respondents also thought that more trains were needed. Table 28 lists all of the comments made by respondents at the New Canaan Station, even the comments made by only 1 person.

Talmadge Hill
The survey distribution and response rate at Talmadge Hill, as well as the customer profiles, were quite similar to that of New Canaan. However, ratings for the various station elements were decidedly less favorable at Talmadge Hill. A total of 277 surveys were distributed with a response rate of 30%.
Ninety-four percent of respondents traveled daily and all traveled either for their commute to work or for other business purposes. Nearly all (99%) traveled during the peak periods. Among those who parked at the station, 61% held permits at the time of the survey, and 40% of those who did not were on a waiting list. Eighty-one percent of survey respondents were male, and 99% were between the ages of 25 and 64. Reported salaries were high once again; 86% of respondents indicated incomes over $100,000.
Overall, the ratings given to the parking, station and platform at Talmadge Hill were less favorable. In total, 12 of the 28 elements included in the survey relevant to this station were given ‘fair’ or ‘poor’ ratings by the majority of respondents.

The New Canaan Rail Station has 510 parking spaces in three surface lots in close proximity to the station proper. One lot is adjacent to the station, another is off Elm Street, and the third is off Pine Street. Three parking categories are utilized in these lots: permit parking, daily parking, and handicapped parking. There are 353 permit spaces, 151 daily spaces, and 6 handicapped spaces. The total usage for the lots was 82.4%, with daily and handicapped parking realizing 100% occupancy.
There are also a number of private municipal lots that provide an additional 585 parking spaces in the area around the station. There are six total lots, none of which provide handicapped parking. The lots offer a mix of permit and daily parking.
Parking Area Ownership
Lots 1 and 3 at the New Canaan Rail Station are owned by the State of Connecticut. All of the other lots are owned by the City of New Canaan. The State owns 15% of the parking used by rail commuters at the New Canaan Station. Figure 22 displays the locations and ownership of the parking lots.
Fee Structure
The New Canaan lots have permit and daily parking available. Daily parking costs $3. The permit rate is $324 annually, which is pro-rated throughout the year. The waiting list for permit parking ranges from 3 to 6 years, depending on which lot is being requested. The waiting list currently has 610 people waiting for permits. Permits are oversold at the New Canaan Station by 5.2%.

STATION BUILDING --- ELECTRICAL AND LIGHTING SUMMARY
The building and the small taxi stand structure have recently been renovated with new electrical systems throughout. The power panels are adequately serving the space and also have some spare capacity for growth. The building electrical system is in good repair and well maintained. The electrical service terminates in a metal enclosure within a wood cabinet located on the platform. Electrical power is then distributed to the platform and building. During hours of darkness, the waiting room maintains an average of 3.4 foot-candles. Luminaires should be added to increase the light level to 5 foot-candles to meet the minimum levels as recommended by the IESNA. Exit and egress lighting is operational and meets the requirements of NFPA 101. There is an active fire alarm system in the building that complies with the ADA. Fire detection devices are located throughout the building except there is no fire detection device located in the janitor’s closet. Additionally, there are no pull station devices located at the coffee shop egress. We recommend that devices be installed and connected to the existing fire alarm system at the coffee shop egresses and in the closet. STATION: New Canaan CONN.

NEW CANAAN BRANCH
The New Canaan Branch includes the following municipalities that participate in or manage the operations and maintenance stations and/or commuter parking lots: New Canaan (New Canaan and Talmadge Hill Stations) and Stamford (Glenbrook and Springdale Stations). Please note that the Stamford Transportation Center is operated by the State and was viewed separately from the Glenbrook and Springdale Stations. As such, the Stamford Station is noted in the New Haven Main Line separated from these smaller stations located on the New Canaan Branch.
NEW CANAAN New Canaan and Talmadge Hill Stations
The Town of New Canaan has two stations, one located in the center of town and one at Talmadge Hill just south of the Merritt Parkway. The recently renovated New Canaan train station, located in the center of the community, is heavily utilized and its parking lots are generally full by 7:00 a.m. A significant number of commuters also walk to the station from home or are dropped off at the station.
The New Canaan Station is considered to be a significant building to the town, even among those who do not commute to by train. The station was brought back to its original design and historic significance by the State’s Department of Transportation three years ago.
The station at Talmadge Hill is located a few minutes south of the New Canaan Station, and consists largely of parking lots, a small shelter and single platform.
Agreements
Although the Office of the First Selectman is familiar with the lease with the Department of Transportation, there is no organization chart of chain of command published for maintenance and operations responsibilities. The terms of the lease are generally followed in the operations and management of the leased lots. The Town is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the lots and station, and the State is responsible for major renovations and/or repairs. Further, the lease requires that the Town charge a minimum annual $100 parking fee per vehicle for state-owned parking lots.
The Town of New Canaan has tenants at the New Canaan Station, although the agreements are not formal and there are no written agreements available. However, municipal officials explained that the Town charges $400 a month for use of the taxi stand, and charges $100 a month to a coffee stand. The coffee stand pays its own utilities.
The Town leases land from a private developer, Avalon Bay Communities Inc., for additional commuter parking at the New Canaan Station. The lot is 3.5 acres and through a land swap arrangement, the Town pays the private entity $500 a day for an additional seventy spaces (120 permits).
The Talmadge Hill Station does not have tenants or any additional leases.

Organizational Structure
The New Canaan Station is centrally located in the Town of New Canaan. The town considers itself a “commuter village” where a significant portion of the residents use the Rail Line to commute to New York. It is a historically significant station and important to the community and functionality of the town. The station is monitored by the Department of Transportation, although the town plays a significant role in general maintenance of the platform and has sole responsibility for the commuter lots. The organization chart below illustrates the responsibilities and chain of command regarding the New Canaan Station and the Talmadge Hill Station.

City Functions
Other Organizations
As noted earlier, the Town of New Canaan does not have a published formal organization chart of responsibilities for the maintenance and operations of the New Canaan Station and commuter lots. The organization chart above was designed from information gathered from New Canaan municipal officials. The New Canaan Office of the First Selectman is the primary department for managing and operating the lots and serves as the main contact for the stations and associated lots of New Canaan Station and Talmadge Hill Station. Robert Bond is the First Selectman and official contact for issues regarding the stations, but is required to spend minimal time with these issues. Administrative officer of the Office of the First Selectman, Peter Murphy, is the administrative contact for the operations of the stations. He spends a larger percentage of his time (as do all departments involved) with the operations of the New Canaan Station than the Talmadge Hill operations.
The employees of the Department of Public Works report directly to the First Selectman. The Police Department does not formally report to the First Selectman. The Department of Parking Operations reports to the Parking Commission as well as the Office of the First Selectman. A private company is contracted for housekeeping and cleaning and reports to the Office of the First Selectman.
Operating Procedures
There are no operating procedure guides published by the Town; information was gathered from municipal officials as well. The New Canaan Station is well run, although there is no direct chain of responsibility and command. If there is a problem, a townsperson can file a complaint with the Office of the First Selectman. If it is a parking problem, the First Selectman will contact the Department of Parking Operations to solve the problem. The Department of Parking Operations is responsible for the
- 31 – maintenance of meters and pay-on-foot machines, parking permits, and parking enforcement. If it is a maintenance problem, the First Selectman will contact the Department of Public Works to fix the problem. Because New Canaan has a small municipal government system, this type of governance works well; particularly since the majority of town residents, not only public officials, would consider themselves stakeholders in the station.
NEW CANAAN Although a part of a small town, the New Canaan Station and lots are not a one-person operation. The employees of the Department of Public Works, who report to the First Selectman, perform general and preventative maintenance of the lot, paving, signs, and landscaping. The Police Department includes the lots of the stations as part of its patrol routes. All parking violations, meter collection, maintenance of pay- on-foot machines and meters, and permit and fee collections are performed by the Department of Parking Operations. A private company, Young’s, is contracted for housekeeping and cleaning, and a local civic association landscapes the area surrounding the station and its lots. There are no formal agreements available for the contracted housekeeping company or the non-profit organization.

TALMADGE HILL The Talmadge Hill Station is moderately maintained, and there is no direct chain of responsibility and command. Problem solving is done in the same manner as for the New Canaan station, but Talmadge Hill does not receive as much attention since it is not centrally located and is not as “noticeable.”

Station Financial Review
URBITRANR EPORT
URBITRAN
Prepared to Connecticut Department of Transportation
S ubmitted by Seward and Monde U nder Contract to Urbitran Associates, Inc. NEW CANAAN FINANCES
ACCOUNTING ENTITY / BASIS
The Town accounts for the State-leased operations as an enterprise fund included in its annual general purpose municipal financial statements. The records are kept on an accrual basis similar to a private enterprise. The Town’s books are, for the most part, kept separate for the railroad State-leased property (New Cannaan station and parking, and the Talmadge Hill platform) from the Town-owned railroad parking areas (Talmadge Hill lot, Richmond Hill and the “lumberyard” lot). Revenues are separately identified for the State-leased lots from the Town-owned lots and certain expenses are also identified as specifically chargeable to the fund, but general municipal services get allocated to the railroad fund.
FINANCIAL REPORTING TO STATE
The presentation included in the annual municipal report is provided to the State. A separate detailed report is not submitted.
Financial measurements such as unit values for revenues or costs per space, etc. and units further broken down for each lot, is not required by the lease and not included with the financial information. Specific railroad lease operating or capital budgets are not necessarily a requirement of the lease or submission to the State.
REVENUES
Revenues are derived from parking, rents, and interest income. The State also provides capital grants outside of the enterprise fund. As previously mentioned, revenues are separately identifiable for State-leased lots from Town-owned lots
Parking revenues are from daily parking fees. Automated pay-station machines are located at the New Canaan parking lot. Parkers pay for their space by depositing money into the pay-station machine. The automated machine is administered to by the Town’s Parking Authority to collect the cash for deposit and identify any unpaid and occupied parking spaces. The Town-owned lots use permit and metered parking systems.
Rental income is derived from a taxi service, a newsstand, a coffee vendor and a vending machine.
Connecticut Department of Transportation 84 EXPENSES
The Town uses its municipal departments and outside services to maintain the railroad properties. Operating expenses include utilities, repairs, maintenance, cleaning and supplies. Repairs are generally performed by outside tradesmen and contractors. Cleaning and window washing is done under a service contract. Town services are provided by the Highway, Building and Park’s Departments. These services include plowing, sanding, sweeping, janitorial, landscaping and other similar services. Expenses exclude security costs because there is no security provided at the railroad lots by the local police as part of their scheduled patrol. The Town also charges depreciation on certain railroad properties.
Metro-North and ConnDOT – The State also incurs station expenses through its service agreement with Metro-North / Metropolitan Transit Authority. These expenses are accounted for by Metro-North and included in the charge to the State. The expenses generally relate to maintaining the platform at each station. At New Canaan the Town also relies on Metro-North to clean-up the debris in Jhe track area at the Station.
The finances of the local government however do not include the station expenses paid by the State to Metro-North under the separate service agreement. These expenses include various maintenance responsibilities related to the stations and especially the platform area. Metro-North performs cyclical maintenance and on-call repairs and maintenance as needed. Metro-North also is responsible to maintain any ticketing area on railroad property. Such costs have been identified and included in the financial presentation.
The Metro-North service agreement also provides that the State pay for the allocated cost of station maintenance forces. These allocated indirect costs have not been included in the financial presentation.
The local government is not in direct control of the services rendered by Metro-North. These services are controlled by the service agreement. The service agreement is outside of the State lease agreement with the local government
ConnDOT also incurs expense for its administrative oversight of the operating leases and the physical properties. These expenses were not compiled or presented in the financial presentation.
EXPENSE ALLOCATION
The allocation of indirect expenses is a financial issue that would apply to most of the State lease agreements where the local government has determined that administrative charges are warranted and come under the “mutually determined charges” clause of the lease agreements. The lease is not clear as to exactly what charges are allowable. The allocations generally result from common costs such as administrative expenses or departmental expenses that do not exclusively service the railroad properties but service a number of funds and functional activities. The reasonableness or propriety of the allocation and method was not evaluated to determine if such costs were actually
Connecticut Department of Transportation 85 incremental or simply attributed to the leased property under a full absorption costing methodology.
PROFITABILITY / ACCUMULATED SURPLUS
The railroad fund was operated at a profit for the 1996-1999 fiscal years. A loss of $23,184 was recorded in fiscal year 2000 (see Special Requirements note). At June 30,2000 the railroad fund had accumulated a net surplus of approximately $141,749.
The State expenditures for this property through its service agreement with Metro-North, when added to the cost of operations results in an excess of expenses over revenues. The local government does not give consideration to the Metro-North costs in setting parking fees.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS – SURPLUS/RESERVE/DEFICIT
The lease agreement does not specifically address the administration or funding of any deficit resulting from the State properties managed by the local government.
CAPITAL PROJECTS
In 1998 the original passenger station was renovated by ConnDOT preserving its historic features and making it more handicap accessible.
FINANCIAL PRESENTATION IN COMPARISON TO THE PARKING INVENTORY
A parking inventory and utilization report is presented separately as Task 2 in this study. The financial presentation herein covers only the State-owned 182 spaces at the New Canaan and Talmadge Hill stations as these are the only spaces for which financial information is captured in the railroad enterprise fund of the Town. The parking inventory includes an additional 1,224 rail parking spaces owned by the Town of New Canaan at the two stations.
